Anne Craven, NCPS

Anne Craven is an NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and addiction. She also helps people dealing with trauma, low self-esteem and codependency concerns.

Anne uses an integrative approach. That means she draws on a few ways of working to fit what someone needs in the moment. Sessions often include client-centred speaking, solution-focused planning and trauma-informed exploration such as inner child work.

In practical terms Anne helps people talk through relationship patterns and caring roles that feel draining. She listens for how attachment and early wounds shape current choices. From there she and the client map small, concrete steps - clearer boundaries, different routines, or ways to cope during hard days.

Her work includes supporting people who struggle with sleep, anger, grief, parenting stress and career pressures. She also works with people managing mood disorders, ADHD and the long effects of abusive experiences. The focus is on noticing familiar habits, then testing simpler ways to respond.

Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Anne pays attention to feelings, bodily reactions and personal history without getting lost in labels. People who want a mix of practical tools and deeper personal understanding may find this approach useful.
